“my identity as a person shouldn\u2019t be defined by a single goal”. I think that was well said in your Light from Many Lamps II post<\/a>. When I was younger, my identify was tied to many goals that I had set for myself. Unfortunately many of my goals were not realized and I underwent a crisis in identify. I slowly came to the realization that my identity is defined by more than the achievement of goals, but it is a lesson I continue to learn.<\/p>\n

How this impacts my self-identity as a leader will be determined by how I process each failure and the learnings I take from them.
